Hi! Easiest way is to create a wsconsctl.conf that sets each key to the
proper value.

Here is the colemak equiv from colemak.com:

The script isn't ideal, but It will get the job done.

Alternatively you can add it to the kernel via a diff like this:
https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/5c9333d1d8cfa982f4a39e5ba7e1839c6b2bdc87.diff
but getting this in tree will likely not happen unless there is a
workman revolution. :D
